Centaurs
|
A magical being whose upper half consists of a human torso, and the lower half being that of a horse. These mystical beings are superior to humans in most ways. They are stronger, can travel farther, are higher in intellect and wisdom, are quicker, hardier, and make better spellcasters. They excel at most anything, and are quite powerful creatures, but do not advance in power quickly at all. Centaurs are afforded limited protection in melee combat by their thick hide, and can attack with their hooves as well.

Comments
Centaurs get a 10% spell cost reduction on arcane and psionic spells, and a 15% reduction on divine spells. Centaurs are also nofail by 95.
A small negative mod makes them less suitable for stealth-based classes. They do not get any melee damage modifiers either, but they make reasonable casters and excellent archers.
Centaurs have more hp and mana than humans, have racial armor and racial attacks (but don't make a character for hoof/kick). Centaurs are a very capable race for almost any caster (except psi, unless you are Jaromil) or archery based profession.
